Princeton Takes 3-0 Win Over Bears

Oct 30, 2009

Brown dropped a tough 3-0 road match at Princeton on Friday
night, as the Tigers put together one of their best matches of the
season to pull off the sweep. The Bears were led by sophomore
Spencer McAndrews, who had a nice all-around game with 13 assists,
two digs, and two kills on just two attempts. With the loss, Brown
falls to 5-13 on the season, and 1-7 in league play, while
Princeton improves to 7-12 overall and 5-3 against the Ivy League.

In the first game, Princeton's offense found an immediate
rhythm, hitting .400 for a team as the Tigers rolled to a 25-16 win
in the opener. That game appeared to set the tone for the
remainder of the match, as Princeton went on to 25-15 and 25-14
victories in the second and third sets, coming away with the 3-0
match win. Brown's defense, generally a strength this season,
had some struggles against Princeton, as the Tigers hit .389 for
the match.

Senior Ann Cowell took advantage of one of her longest
appearances of the season, knocking in five kills in 13 attempts,
while junior Brianna Williamson notched nine kills and six
digs. Rookie libero Carly Cotton also added a team-high 13
defensive digs.

The Bears will be back in action tomorrow afternoon, when they
take on the Penn Quakers at 4:00 p.m.
